It's not yet late at night, and I can vaguely feel the hustle and bustle inside and outside the Su family's home. The lights in the hall are swaying, and the windows are overflowing with light. In Su Tan'er's bedroom, Chan'er and Juan'er are guarding
Beside the bed, a warm towel was applied to Su Tan'er's forehead, who seemed a little uneasy. An old doctor with white hair and beard was sitting by the bed, diagnosing Su Tan'er's pulse. Ning Yi stood at the door, holding his hands on his chest.
"Except for the medicine boy who followed Dr. Sun," no one else came in to the courtyard outside, he was thinking about things.
The diagnosis process was not long. The old doctor let go of Su Tan'er's wrist, stood up and walked out. Juan'er quickly followed him to the door outside." Xing'er with red eyes also came over.
"The second lady has been infected with wind and cold. Judging from the symptoms, I'm afraid it has been for many days. There are also some other reasons in the meantime. Well, she has been infected with wind and cold for the past few days." I'm afraid it also came, cough, here comes the sunflower water. These
The combined effect made the wind and cold worse, but if that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal. After a few doses of medicine, the fever subsided, and things were almost better. But other than that... the second lady was probably too overworked, probably.
The encounter with the uncle was so exciting that I was "suffering a blow, and was exhausted mentally and physically...all these things together mean that I won't be able to get better within a few days."
"Exhausted mentally and physically?" Ning Yi asked with a frown.
The old doctor nodded: "Well, this time it's not so much the wind and cold as it is the long-term fatigue and stress." The body and mind are exhausted. The most important thing is that it's in the heart. It's just the wind and cold. It just broke out at once.
"Don't take it lightly. I will prescribe medicine to reduce the second young lady's fever first, but the way to cure the disease is to make the second young lady feel at ease." Alas, "
The old doctor surnamed Sun sighed, "He is worshiped by the Su family, and he takes the lead in treating Su Boyong." He naturally understood the situation in the Su family at this time, and it was not easy to let Su Tan'er feel relieved. He shook his head and stood in the living room.
"I've written the diagnosis" and then gave some more instructions before leaving. Xiaochan followed to catch Xinjuan'er and Xing'er ran to the bedside to look at the unconscious Su Tan'er, and then looked towards Ning Yi with a slight cry.
: "What should I do?" These words seemed to be asking Ning Yi for help, but also seemed to be talking to herself. "On weekdays, the three maids are in charge of many things in the big house and are very independent. But at this time, Su Boyong fell into disbelief.
Next, after Su Tan'er also fell down, she finally felt at a loss.
Ning Yi took the diagnosis and thought about it for a while, then asked: "What happened in the past few days?"
The reason why Su Tan'er contracted the cold may be because she fell into the bathtub that afternoon. "There seemed to be some symptoms in the first few days, but they were not serious. After Su Boyong was assassinated," the challenges Su Tan'er faced must be very difficult.
But there was no sign that she was backing down or that she would be knocked down. In the early morning a few days ago, she was still confidently saying that she would take down Huang Shang. Her spirit and self-confidence were at their peak. There was nothing wrong with adapting to the situation.
Just like a big company, it will face many blows and many conspiracies, whether light or heavy. After the blow is hit, it is normal for the side to start to respond. The assassination of Su Boyong can be regarded as a sudden blow. If
It is said that Su Tan'er will fall down without resisting just because of a single blow. It is simply impossible for her to achieve this step." People who can only adapt to favorable circumstances will find it difficult to control the Su family in the future.
Ning Yi has long known that Su Tan'er does not have such a character. If she is to be hit mentally, it cannot be the things that happened before. And if the other party has any conspiracy or attack, she should be mentally prepared. This short period of time
"Something more important must have happened in just four days..."
When she asked this question, Juan'er was slightly confused and turned to look at Xing'er, who had been following the young lady most of the time these days. Xing'er was still crying. She looked at Juan'er and Ning Yi for a while, wiped her tears and said:
"I...Miss told me not to say anything..."
Ning Yi thought for a while, then sat down on the chair next to him, sighed, stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, and murmured: "The emperor is exhausted both mentally and physically. There is something wrong with the emperor's business, and it is an unsolvable problem... External
Or internally or externally, I have offended some high-ranking official of the Weaving Bureau, but the shopkeepers are doing the visiting of those officials in the past few days, and they can't get to the point of breaking up... It can only be an internal problem.
, there is a problem that cannot be solved, and I am not too interested in knowing about technical matters, so I won’t talk about it for now..."
The two maids listened to him murmuring these words, and Xing'er cried harder: "Qijian, actually...a few days ago..."
Before I finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside. Juan'er and Xing'er hurriedly went out. It was Shopkeeper Liao who was the most senior among the shopkeepers in the shop. He had also learned about the situation from Dr. Sun and came over to inquire. Su
The old lady hasn't returned home yet, and Juan'er and Xing'er definitely can't make the decision." She discussed a few words with shopkeeper Liao in a low voice. Ning Yi sat in the room and speculated on the possibility of the matter. He stood up and walked a few steps, "Looking at the sleeping man on the bed.
Su Tan'er.
This bedroom is usually tidy, but it seems a little messy these days, probably because it's been too busy. When Ning Yi walked towards the books on the table, he accidentally saw something falling from the foot of the bed.
Picking it up, it was a small piece of cloth, triangular, light yellow, with a simple pattern on it.
The piece of cloth probably fell to the ground in the past two days. There was no dust. Ning Yi took it close to the oil lamp and remembered some things. That was one day on the second floor of the small building opposite, Su Taner took it
I gave him a piece of cloth to look at. He was smiling like a flower. He was very happy and said, "Ms. sir, do you think this color is beautiful?"
"Oh, it's beautiful. It's a color that ordinary people can't use."
Su Tan'er didn't discuss this topic too much at the time about the bright yellow piece of cloth, but Ning Yi probably still remembered the bright yellow piece of cloth, but now this piece seems to have faded in color and turned into light yellow...
Shopkeeper Liao outside mentioned Ning Yi's name. Ning Yi sighed and put the piece of cloth back into his sleeve. Now that Su Boyong and Su Tan'er have fallen, it is impossible to call people from the second and third bedrooms to come up with a solution. Ning Yi
Yi usually doesn't care about these things, but he still has the status of master in the Su family. Then shopkeeper Liao chatted with him for a few words, probably so that he could show off. Ning Yi nodded.
"It's no big deal. Let's keep everything as usual." The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth, but don't spread rumors about Tan'er. "Don't let too many people know that she is sick for the time being. That's it."
"I know that the second lady's condition needs to be recuperated." I can't worry about it, but...if something unexpected happens and I need to make a decision, I don't know..."
"Then bring it here." We will find a solution here. The rest... Shopkeeper Lao Liao and other shopkeepers can take care of it."
"Yes. In fact, even if there are any changes," everyone has experience in dealing with it. After so many years, they have all been veterans of the cloth shop. Please ask me to be more considerate..." What shopkeeper Liao said is indeed just to be considerate.
If it is just Jiangning, there will be no problem for any shopkeeper to be in charge. But if it involves changes and impacts on the national business, there must be a backbone, but for the time being, there is no other way to think of.
.
After shopkeeper Liao left, Chan'er took the medicine and came back. Soon after, the old man who returned home hurried over and looked at Su Tan'er, who was still sleeping. This incident also caused a great blow to the old man.
But it was useless to say anything at the moment. He said some soothing words to Ning Yi and the three maids, and went back with heavy steps.
After the old lady also left, "the yard finally became quiet." The lights were flickering, and the smell of Chinese medicine was brewing. For the people in the yard, there had been such quiet nights for many days before. At that time, everyone sat together and chatted.
"Gobangqi" occasionally laughed, this is a family. The four girls in the yard before Ning Yi's future can probably be considered a family. "But the atmosphere is so quiet at this time." Xiaochan came in with a medicine bowl, and everyone waited in silence.
, Juaner couldn't help but swallowed louder: "What should we do? Uncle..."
Su Boyong has fallen down, and Su Tan'er is also in a coma. Even if he can wake up, his body will not recover for a while. The old lady may have to let others take over the affairs of the big house temporarily. The future suddenly becomes empty.
It's so unpredictable and terrifying, no one knows why it suddenly became like this.
The only people he can rely on are probably just a few people around him. If Ning Yi is really the nerd he once was, maybe he will be excluded, but after more than a year of getting along, at least in this matter, Ning Yi has been accepted.
Become a member of this family... Of course, Juan'er got up at this time just because she was at a loss. Ning Yi is a man, different from them, but it is definitely impossible to find a way to solve the problem.
Ning Yi was standing in front of the window packing some things on the desk at this time. The room was a bit messy, so he put some things back into place, and threw some of them into the cabinet where he couldn't see them. He didn't move quickly, but at this time
He had already packed everything up. He did not look back, but folded a piece of uncut rice paper on the table a few times, then unfolded it, poured some water into the inkstone, and slowly rubbed the ink.
.
"Didn't I teach you how to deal with these things before?" Ning Yi whispered.
The three girls shook their heads.
Ning Yi picked up the brush and was silent for a moment: "Next, I want the Su family's account books over the years, about seven to ten years, records of the Su family's development in all aspects, and letters exchanged with shopkeepers in various regions. I want
Know everything that happened in the Su family's business, the methods of contingency, the final result and the reasons why this result occurred. In addition, I want more rice paper, ink, some thin threads, prepare some pastries, and fill my stomach.
Don't make it too sweet, prepare a big pot of tea... That's probably all for now..." There was a silence from behind, and the three maids were at a loss as to what he was going to do. Ning Yi turned around.
"It's impossible for my father-in-law, but for the old lady... I might call someone to help." But it's no use." Ning Yi pointed at Su Tan'er on the bed calmly, "Your lady won't let her go."
After she wakes up, the first thing she has to do will not be to take medicine, but to get out of bed. No one can take her place... So, the result is very simple." He smiled over there, feeling a little helpless.
"It's a bit boring." It's not much different from playing chess and telling stories on weekdays: "Let me give it a try..." Juan'er and Xing'er were still a little hesitant, and Chan'er took a breath there.
His eyes were blurred with tears, and then he showed a smile, wiped the corners of his eyes, and turned around to go out: "I'm going to get the account books and records..." The Su family has a general accounting room, but the big house has separate records for the big house. In fact, one copy is enough.
Next door, the three maids who manage these things on weekdays are qualified to get it.
After Xiao Chan left, Juan'er thought about it and followed her out." Then came Xing'er. She wiped the tears on her face and whispered when she went out: "Uncle...are you here?"
"What if your lady wakes up?"
The uncle wants to help the young lady solve some problems. Xing'er and Juan'er can't tell whether this idea is a good thing or not and what the consequences will be. But if it were in other places, once the young lady wakes up, she will definitely wake up immediately.
"I want to get out of bed to take care of things", but the three maids knew it very well. No matter what, they had to let the young lady stay in bed. Perhaps only the uncle could do this.
She smiled awkwardly, and then went out. When he and the unconscious Su Tan'er were alone in the room, Ning Yi sat down and sighed at the rice paper and calligraphy brush.
"You people have gone too far... and you have made it impossible for the married couple to have peace..."
Vaguely, it seemed like a complaint against some people behind the scenes...
………………, In the early morning, after the ugly hour, Su Taner woke up...
